First, apologies: the alert for this story has been sitting in my inbox for two weeks, and I honestly don't know why I kept putting it off. But I think I have an idea now - my subconscious was saying, "Save it for a rainy day!" or something like that. Anyways, it worked - I've been needing a bit of a pick-me-up lately, and this story really brightened my mood. :-)

Is it weird that I'm not having a particularly difficult time picturing all the characters in their respective costumes? Lorne especially - hah! Hilarious! And Zelenka's (only) line was absolutely perfect!

Teyla offering John "liquid courage" was sweet and funny. Caldwell as Skinner was great. Ronon blocking Keller's view was awesome. And the pirates! All the pirates!

*happy sigh* Thanks so much!

P.S. Oh, and your drawing was fantastic! I think I'm going to go look at it some more. ;-) -L.R.
